Radical cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki was a traitor, a terrorist and a legitimate target for the U.S. military

In the current global war against terrorism, when an American citizen such as radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was living in Yemen before being killed by a C.I.A. drone, defects and turns traitor to his country while openly supporting our enemies in al-Qaida, he becomes in my opinion a legitimate target for the U.S. military — and more power to them.
